Three Chinese Cites Become Popular Travel Destinations
Jul 01, 2015 By eChinacities.com

MasterCard has released their Global Destination Cities Index ranking popular travel destinations, showing that three Chinese cities have shot up the list in terms of international tourist numbers.

Specifically, Chengdu, Xi’an, and Taipei each ranked at second, sixth, and seventh places on the index in terms of international tourists received from 2009-2015.

The report showed that Chengdu made an especially huge leap. The city, having benefited from receiving a large amount of investments, went from attracting just 480,000 tourists in 2009 to getting 1.49 million in 2015. It ranked second only to Colombo, Sri Lanka.

Just as Chinese tourists have begun to drive growth in the global tourism market, ten cities in China will likewise be the recipients of a large amount of tourism this year, attracting 21 million tourists.

Ten top Chinese travel destinations for international tourists are: Taipei, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Beijing, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Chengdu, Xi’an, Xiamen, and Tianjin.
